I would like to become an pilot after pursuing my B.E MECHANICAL engineering in indian government, what should I do now?
Hi Aspirant,
There are two type of Pilot variants. One for whom flying is just a hobby, others regards it as his/ her career. Two different programs are available for the two kinds of pilots. For the hobby the PPL (Private Pilot License) is available, while for the pilots looking for a career in the aviation industry its the CPL (Commercial Pilot License).
To become a pilot after B.E in Mechanical Engineering :
- Get a class II medical test done by a DGCA approved doctor.
- Most importantly the infrastructure as well as experience in the industry for over 20 years. You can find the list of doctors at the DGCA website.
- Join a flying club. I would recommend Academy of Carver Aviation Pvt. Limited for their large fleet, young and dynamic flight instructors
- Giving necessary theory exams as required by DGCA is generally taken care by the Flying Club that you would join. Rest of the formalities like getting a Student Pilot License, doing required flying hours etc are done later on.
Hope this is clear
Thanks
